Falmouth, Maine, is part of the Portland metropolitan area, but it has a small-town feel. Located on the Atlantic coast, Falmouth features plenty of natural and historical attractions to appeal to a wide variety of people. Falmouth is currently home to about 12,500 people, 20% of whom are seniors — substantially more than the national rate of 16.8%. Crime rates in Falmouth fall well below the national average for both property and violent crime, but the city’s cost of living is well above the national and state averages especially in the area of housing. However, health care costs run lower and Falmouth residents are only nine miles from the Maine Medical Center in Portland.
The 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey shows that seniors in Falmouth, included in the Portland area for data purposes, typically pay $5,840 per month in home care costs. Home care might be a good choice for people who need extra help, but not the light medical services provided by home health care.
